THE HIDDEN SUB-MASTERS

I was reading an article on a train, it made me concerned as to who really are the ones controlling the fianancial world. Fool and Error are who I call them.


Poem Artwork

It takes a Fool

to make a Wise man think

an Error

to set things right.

Like a journey

that travels through the dark night,

how did it happen?

what went wrong?

Perhaps time will tell!

the truth is the  Fool and the Error

know this way so well.

No one listened

to the Wise mans thoughts

he saw the coming afar,

they said he was the Fool to speak

that Error was his friend

then darkness fell on them all,

their castles were foreclosed 

the doors were shut

to the risks they took no heed,

instead they were driven

by greed.

The Fool has not gone

he is with us still

while Error hides from view,

in boardroom words

and wierd hand clasps

they try to control the world.

Scared they are of the Wise man

see him as the Joker in the pack,

because when he speaks

this time around

there will be no turning back.

Excellent poem, John. I did not realize the UK had as much fianancial
problems as we in the US have. Of course though we are parted by an ocean the same idiots run both countries. This was an outstanding read.

GOD BLESS
Tony
